After receiving a letter from William H. H. Llewellyn, President Roosevelt believes that Arizona Territorial Governor Joseph H. Kibbey and New Mexico Territorial Governor Herbert J. Hagerman may need to replaced. He wishes David M. Goodrich lived in New Mexico so he could be appointed, and asks Commissioner of Corporations Garfield to look into the record of John M. Wilson as a potential candidate, while investigating the current governors’ malpractices.
